Hi all,
I'm a first time poster, so if this is a dumb question or has already been answered here before, please don't blast me.
Here are the symptoms:
*My ethernet card in my four-year-old Dell (on Windows XP) was busted, so I replaced it.
*Turned on my machine, reset my modem/IP address, and connected beautifully, using Firefox and AIM
*Somewhat stupidly, I opened Internet Explorer to check out something Microsoft-y and ever since my connection has timed out for anything I've tried to do
*The connection appears to be active and fully connected, but again, everything times out
*A '1394' connection appeared inexplicably
*I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling both the new card and the '1394' connection via Device Manager, with no difference
Anyone got a diagnosis or solution?
Thanks for your help!
